How to disable copy and paste from end point to VDI image?

I know you can use the ADM template to disable copy and paste from the end point to the VDI image via PCOIP ADM template which I posted below, but does this also apply to RDP? Is there a different setting\GPO if the customer wants to use RDP instead?

View PCoIP General Session Variables  The View PCoIP Session Variables ADM template file contains group policy settings that configure general session characteristics such as PCoIP image quality, USB devices, and network ports.

View PCoIP General Session Variables  Setting

Description  Configure clipboard redirection

Determines the direction in which clipboard redirection is allowed. You can select one of these values:

■ Enabled client to server only (That is, allow copy and paste only from the client system to the View desktop.)

■ Disabled in both directions

■ Enabled in both directions

■Enabled server to client only (That is, allow copy and paste only from the View desktop to the client system.)  Clipboard redirection is implemented as a virtual channel. If virtual channels are disabled, clipboard redirection does not function.  This setting applies to the server only.  When this setting is disabled or not configured, the default value is Enabled client to server only.

It does not apply to RDP but you can use the following GPO setting:

Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Device and Resource Redirection > Do not allow clipboard redirection:Enabled

That's what I use and it works fine.
